Saturday, February 10, 2007He can see well enough from the eye to identify who we are, but he can't read facial expressions. Luckily, he came with two eyes. He goes to the special specialist in a couple of weeks to find out what, if any, repair can be done. posted by Sydney on 2/10/2007 04:13:00 PM 5 comments 5 Comments:

WHOA. A 2nd pupil? Really? There's more pupil underneath the iris? Freaky. By 12:22 AM , atThanks. He's doing fine. As disabilities go, this is a very mild one. He doesn't notice the problem at all unless he closes his good eye. The worst part for him was the bed rest. We're thankful it was his eye and not his brain. At cataract surgery the iridodialysis likely can be repaired by with one or 2 sutures. Its a little tricky, though. Good luck. By 4:03 PM , at
Thats an interesting picture. I can relate to everything your son has been through. I suffered from an impact injury to my eye in april when a capacitor exploded in my face. I had an operation to drain the blood and relieve the pressure in my eye four days later, then the following week I had a second operation to correct a prolapsed iris. Over the last five months the blood hascleared from my eye, but my cornea was badly stained by the blood that its like trying to look through frosted glass. I too have started to develop a cataract due to the trauma my eye suffered. By 5:45 PM , at |
